    IPL spot fixing 2013: Life ban for Chandila

    A BCCI committee declared former Royal Rajasthan off-spinner Ajit Chandila guilty of spot-fixing during IPL 2013, and banned him from all cricket activities for life. BCCI's verdict on Chandila had been pending since his arrest in 2013. Hiken Shah was also banned for 5 years for attempting to fix a Ranji match. The BCCI was yet to decide on Umpire Asad Rauf's fate.
